Objective A rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed using a single or two intratracheal drops of bleomycin(BLM)and the modeling rate and stability of the two modeling modalities were compared.Methods A total of 150 specific pathogen-free SD rats were divided randomly into blank control(control),single intratracheal drop of bleomycin(BLM-S),and two intratracheal drops of bleomycin(BLM-M)groups.Rats in the BLM-S group received a single dose of 3 mg/kg BLM by noninvasive intratracheal instillation,and rats in BLM-M group received 3 mg/kg BLM on day 1 and BLM 2 mg/kg on day 14.Rats in the control group were given intratracheal instillation of 0.9％sodium chloride(1 mL/kg).The rats were euthanized on days 28,42,56,and 84 after modelling,respectively.Deep inspiratory capacity(IC),vital capacity(VC),static lung compliance(Cchord),and dynamic lung complication(Cdyn)were measured in all rats.Pathological changes in lung tissue were observed,and the extent of alveolitis and fibrosis was graded.Collagen-Ⅲ(COL-Ⅲ)expression in rat lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results(1)The survival rates in the control,BLM-S,and BLM-M groups were 100％,80％,and 66％,respectively.Rats in the BLM-S and BLM-M groups had significantly lower body weights on days 14～42 compared with the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and rats in the BLM-M group had significantly lower body weight on days 28～42 than rats in the control and BLM-S groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).(2)Regarding lung function,IC,VC,Cchord,and Cdyn were all markedly decreased in the BLM-S group compared with the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)and IC,VC,and Cchord were significantly decreased in the BLM-M group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)on day 28.IC,VC,and Cchord were significantly decreased in rats in the BLM-S group on day 42(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and were also significantly decreased in rats in the BLM-M group on days 42～84(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).(3)In terms of lung pathology,inflammatory infiltration and fibrous cords appeared in the BLM-S group from days 28～84 and then gradually decreased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),while fibrosis and alveolitis were relatively stable in the BLM-M group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).(4)COL-Ⅲ expression levels in lung tissue were significantly higher in rats in the BLM-S and BLM-M groups compared with the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and the COL-Ⅲ content in the BLM-S group was significantly lower at 42～84 days than at 28 days(P＜0.05).Conclusions Both method are capable of effectively creating pulmonary fibrosis models.The single-dose approach is straightforward,has a lower death rate,and the degree of fibrosis is clearly visible by day 28,but progressively recovers after 42 days.In contrast,the two-dose instillation model has a greater success rate and better stability,with over half the rats still exhibiting visible fibrosis on day 84.

Objective To compare the success rate and stability of rat pulmonary fibrosis(PF)models induced by intratracheal instillation of different doses of bleomycin(BLM).Methods One hundred and fifty Sprague Dawley rats were divided randomly into control,low-dose BLM 3 mg/kg(BL-L),and high-dose BLM 5 mg/kg(BL-H)groups.General status,mortality,and weight changes were observed,and the lung inspiratory capacity(IC),vital capacity(VC),chord compliance(Cchord),and dynamic compliance(Cdyn)were detected on days 28,42,56,and 84.Lung coefficients were recorded and pathological changes in lung tissue were observed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson staining.The lung hydroxyproline(HYP)content was detected and collagen type Ⅲ(COL Ⅲ)was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The mortality rates in the BL-L and BL-H groups were 20％and 28％,respectively.Body weight was significantly lower in the BL-L group compared with the control group on days 0～56,and weight recovery after day 56.Body weight was significantly lower in the BL-H group compared with the control and BL-L groups from days 0～56(P＜0.01).Regarding lung function,IC,VC,Cchord,and Cdyn were significantly lower in the BL-L group compared with the control group on day 28(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),and IC and Cdyn were significantly lower in the BL-H group(P＜0.01).IC,VC,and Cchord were significantly decreased in the BL-L group on day 42(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),while IC,VC,Cchord,and Cdyn were significantly decreased in the BL-H group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05),and IC,VC,and Cchord were significantly lower compared with in the BL-L group(P＜0.01).Cchord was significantly lower in the BL-H group compared with the control and BL-L groups on day 56(P＜0.01).The lung coefficients on day 28 were significantly higher in the BL-L and BL-H groups compared with the control group(P＜0.01),and were significantly higher in the BL-H group from days 42～56 compared with the BL-L and control groups(P＜0.01).Regarding lung histopathology and immunohistochemistry,inflammatory infiltration,fibrotic streaks,and COL Ⅲ expression were observed in the BL-L group from days 28～56,and almost complete disappearance of the fibrotic lesions on day 84.In contrast,fibrotic lesions could be observed from days 28～84 in the BL-H group,with significantly elevated COL Ⅲ expression compared with the control group(P＜0.01).The HYP content was significantly higher in the BL-L group compared with the control group from days 28～42(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and then gradually decreased,and the HYP content was significantly higher in the BL-H group than in the control group from days 28～84(P＜0.01).Conclusions Both 3 and 5 mg/kg BLM can successfully induce PF rat models.Rats treated with 3 mg/kg BLM developed fibrosis on day 28,which lasted until day 42 and then gradually recovered.Rats treated with 5 mg/kg BLM developed fibrosis on day 28,and the degree of fibrosis was more severe with the higher compared with the lower dose,with stable fibrotic lesions up to day 56 and moderate-to-severe fibrosis still present in half of the rats until day 84.

Objective:To explore the effects of the immune responses mediated by topological structures of three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds on hair follicle cycle in mice.Methods:The study was an experimental research. The alginate-gelatin composite hydrogels were printed into scaffolds using a three-dimensional bioprinter and named T45 scaffolds, T60 scaffolds, and T90 scaffolds according to the 3 topological structures of the scaffolds (the rotation angles of the printhead during printing were 45°, 60°, and 90°, respectively), and the morphology of the three scaffolds was observed after cross-linking by naked eyes. Nine 8-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were divided into T45 group, T60 group, and T90 group, according to the random number table, with three mice in each group, and the T45, T60, and T90 scaffolds were subcutaneously implanted on the back of mice, respectively. On post implantation day (PID) 7, the hair growth in the dorsal depilated area of mice was observed, the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression levels of CD68, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds were observed by immunofluorescence staining. The samples of the above experiments were all 3.Results:The topological structures of the three scaffolds were all clear with high fidelity after cross-linking. On PID 7, the hair growth was obvious in the dorsal depilated area of mice in T45 group and T90 group, while hair growth was slow in the scaffold implantation area of mice in T60 group, which was significantly different from that of the unimplanted area. On PID 7, compared with (18±4) μm in T90 group, the thickness of both the fiber capsule around the scaffolds ((39±4) and (55±8) μm) of mice in T45 group and T60 group was significantly increased ( P<0.05); the thickness of the fiber capsule around the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was also significantly increased compared with that in T45 group ( P<0.05). On PID 7, the expression level of CD68 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). The expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly higher than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05), and the expression level of BMP-2 protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T45 group was significantly higher than that in T90 group ( P<0.05). The expression level of TNF protein in the tissue surrounding the scaffolds of mice in T60 group was significantly lower than the levels in T45 group and T90 group (with both P values <0.05). Conclusions:Three-dimensional bioprinted scaffolds with different topological structures mediate different degrees of immune responses after being implanted in mice. A moderate immune response promotes hair growth in depilated area of mice, while an excessive immune response results inhibits the hair follicle entering into the anagen phase.

Purpose: To identify the predictors of infectious disease-specific health literacy (IDSHL), and establish an easy-to-apply nomogram to predict the IDSHL of older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 380 older adults who completed the IDSHL, self-rated health, socio-demographic and other questionnaires. Logistic regression was used to identify the IDSHL predictors. Nomogram was used to construct a predictive model. Results: Up to 70.1% of older adults had limited IDSHL. Age, education, place of residence, self-rated health, and Internet access were the important influencing factors of IDSHL. The established nomogram model showed high accuracy (receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.848). Conclusions The IDSHL of Chinese older adults was significantly deficient. The constructed nomogram is an intuitive tool for IDSHL prediction that can not only contribute toward rapid screening of high-risk older adults with limited IDSHL but also provide guidance for healthcare providers to develop prevention strategies for infectious diseases.

Pulmonary blast injury has become the main type of trauma in modern warfare, characterized by externally mild injuries but internally severe injuries, rapid disease progression, and a high rate of early death. The injury is complicated in clinical practice, often with multiple and compound injuries. Currently, there is a lack of effective protective materials, accurate injury detection instrument and portable monitoring and transportation equipment, standardized clinical treatment guidelines in various medical centers, and evidence-based guidelines at home and abroad, resulting in a high mortality in clinlcal practice. Therefore, the Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized military and civilian experts in related fields such as thoracic surgery and traumatic surgery to jointly develop the Clinical treatment guideline for pulmonary blast injury ( version 2023) by combining evidence for effectiveness and clinical first-line treatment experience. This guideline provided 16 recommended opinions surrounding definition, characteristics, pre-hospital diagnosis and treatment, and in-hospital treatment of pulmonary blast injury, hoping to provide a basis for the clinical treatment in hospitals at different levels.
